The purpose of this study is to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and to investigate the efficacy, safety and pharmacokinetics of irofulven combined with oxaliplatin in patients with advanced solid tumors.

Oxaliplatin will be administered in a 2-hour infusion on Days 1 and 15 of a 28-day cycle. Starting dose 40 mg/m^2, dose escalation 50, 60, 70, and 80 mg/m^2 every 28 days if no dose-limiting toxicity.

Thirty minutes after completion of oxaliplatin infusion, irofulven will be administered in a 30-minute infusion on Days 1 and 15 of a 28-day cycle. Starting dose 0.30 mg/kg, dose escalation to 0.40 mg/kg every 28 days if no dose-limiting toxicity.

Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

Signed informed consent obtained prior to initiation of any study-specific procedures and treatment.

Any previous history of another malignancy (other than cured basal cell carcinoma of the skin or cured in-situ carcinoma of the cervix) within 5 years of study entry, unless the active malignancy can be unmistakably identified by evidence such as recent biopsies or tumor specific markers.

Treatment with any other investigational agent, or participation in another clinical trial within 28 days prior to study entry.

Pregnant or lactating patients or any patient with childbearing potential not using adequate contraception.

Patients with retinopathy or significant visual impairment not correctable by refractory lens will be enrolled on a case by case basis according to the expected benefit ratio, taking into account the malignant disease and the existence of an objective decreased visual acuity and its degree.

Please note: There are additional criteria that must be met in order to be eligible for this study.
